How to reset SRS(air bag) light

Open the driver's door. Note the rubber covered button located low on the B pillar, a button which is pressed by the door when the door is closed. This is the Driver's Door Switch (DDS).

Turn the ignition from OFF to ON. Press the DDS at least 5 times within 7 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON. Turn the ignition OFF. Close the driver's door. Start the engine.

If the airbag warning lamp is still on (or still flashing), there is a fault in the Supplemental Restraint System which must be diagnosed and repaired. This is a job for your local friendly Nissan dealer.

I followed your instructions and now it flashes in a 'code'.

Just found this, but i dont know if it will be any help. You could try finding which sensor is faulty and replacing it yourself.

Number of Flashes - Reason
1 Left front actuator solenoid circuit
2 Right front actuator solenoid circuit
3 Right rear actuator solenoid circuit
4 Left rear actuator solenoid circuit
5 Left front wheel sensor circuit
6 Right front wheel sensor circuit
7 Right rear wheel sensor circuit
8 Left rear wheel sensor circuit
9 Motor and motor relay
10 Solenoid valve relay
16 Control unit
None, but dashboard light on Power supply or ground for control unit
